Benediction Video Mix
Four New Mixcloud Mixes from Conny Plankton
Chemical Shock
A Mix based loosely around voice actors from a popular video
game - there is a clue in the title. The voice samples were edited down and
rearranged with loops of 1930s and 1940s music as multi-tracked arrangement to
produce something deeply and darkly disturbing.
The Real World
This mix was made from a series of home produced field recordings,
made at various times and places around the North of England. Everything was
edited down, minimal effects added, and then reassembled to produced a mix far
away from the contexts of the original recordings and to create something
altogether new and unsettling.
Revisited
A Mix made from earlier recordings by Conny Plankton - but rather than just segue one track after another, stems and samples were cut from the original recordings and then reassembled into a multi-tracked monster to make something weird and wonderful.
Reincarnation
The second in a series of mixes based around using samples
and outtakes of earlier Conny Plankton recordings: stripped down, deconstructed
and then arranged into and reincarnated into one single mix.

Replete
July 2022 sees a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton - celebrating the completion of the first version of the Nifty Eurorack system and allowing many complex routings and patchings with external sequencers, synths and VST plug ins. The final mixes range from atonal onslaughts, to hypnotic sequences to ambient soundscapes - and many places in between!
